Hello Pipe Enthusiasts!
Welcome back to the #BPIPipeInsights! article that provides more knowledge about Steel Pipes. Steel pipes are not only used in general construction and large infrastructure, but also play an important role in the healthcare industry. From hospital construction to medical equipment, steel pipes serve as materials that support the safety, cleanliness, and reliability of healthcare facilities.
Steel Pipes in Healthcare Infrastructure
In the construction of hospitals and clinics, steel pipes are used for:
- Clean water distribution and wastewater systems to ensure hygienic operations.
- Medical gas pipelines such as oxygen and nitrogen that must be delivered safely.
- Supporting structures such as poles and utility frames that ensure building stability.
Common application example: ERW steel pipes with diameters of 1 inch - 1¼ inch and thickness of 1.3–1.5 mm are often used for oxygen distribution lines in treatment rooms.
Steel Pipes in Medical Equipment
In addition to infrastructure, steel pipes are also present in everyday medical equipment:
- Frames for patient beds and wheelchairs that require strong yet lightweight materials.
- Medical trolleys and instrument racks that use thin steel pipes for easy mobility.
- Medical furniture such as operating tables that require high stability.
Common application example: Patient beds generally use steel pipes with diameters of 1¼ inch - 1½ inch and thickness of 1.3 mm.
Steel Pipes in Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Facilities
The pharmaceutical and laboratory industries also utilize steel pipes for:
- Process piping systems in drug production.
- Steam and cooling distribution to maintain pharmaceutical product quality.
- Sterilization and environmental control that require materials with high cleanliness standards.
Common application example: Small steel pipes with diameters of ½ inch - ¾ inch are used for cooling systems in pharmaceutical laboratories.
The importance of quality standards in the use of steel pipes in the healthcare sector demands strict compliance. BPI products are manufactured according to national and international standards, making them safe for use in vital hospital systems, resistant to corrosion and sterile environments, and consistent in quality to support long-term operations.
The role of steel pipes in the healthcare industry shows that this material not only supports large-scale construction, but also contributes to everyday life through medical facilities. With high-standard steel pipe products, Bakrie Pipe Industries is ready to support the development of healthcare infrastructure and high-quality medical equipment in Indonesia.
